Answer:
-5 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.
a + b = 12
The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.
b - a = 22
(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)
b = 22 + a
(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)
a + (22 + a) = 12
a + a + 22 = 12
2a = -10
a = -5
a + b = 12
-5 + b = 12
b = 17
it is neither, it cannot be raised to a power unless it is 0 or 1 :)
as 0.95 is the same as decreasing by 5%

to increase by 5% you times by 1.05x
Answer:
$1307.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original investment be x.
Note that a 30% increase in a value is equal to multiplying a value by 130% and a withdrawal is to take out money. The final amount is $1500. Let’s write the equation with the information we have.
Equation:
130%x - 200 = 1500
(130/100)x = 1700
x = 1700(100/130) = $1307.69
I hope this helps! :)
